Calcutta: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has arrested Dr. Sandeep Ghosh on charges of corruption during his tenure as the director of the RK Kar Medical College and Hospital. The investigating agency has arrested three other persons besides him. The corruption charges come in the wake of the ongoing controversy surrounding the rape and murder case of a 31-year-old doctor on the night of August 8-9. The federal agency had taken note of an FIR filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in connection with various corruption cases.

On Sunday, the CBI had re-registered the corruption case and taken over the investigation from the Calcutta police. It has conducted raids at a total of 15 locations. Now the ED has launched its investigation into the matter. Together with Sandip Ghoshwhose second round of polygraph tests was completed yesterday, M/s Ma Tara Traders of Madhya Jhorehat, Banipur, Howrah, M/s Eshan Cafe JK Ghosh Road, Belgachia, Kolkata-37 and M/s Khama Louha are also under observation in the emergency room.

Former employee: Sandip Ghosh demands money so families can see victims

During the investigation against the former director, the former employee of RG Kar Morgue made serious revelations and said that Sandip Ghosh made the families of deceased pay for the autopsies. The former employee alleged that the families even demanded money to see the face of their deceased relatives.

“He used to demand money from poor people just to show them the face of their deceased relatives…,” the former employee of RG Kar Morgue told Times Now.

“Tried to cover up the crime”: Mother

Sandip Ghosh was sacked from his post as principal of Calcutta National Medical College And Hospital by the West Bengal Health Department for mismanagement of heinous crimes. Ghosh had resigned from his post as principal of RG Kar College following a huge outcry over the brutal sexual assault and murder of the doctor, which sent nationwide shockwaves and sparked protests across India.

Not only the public, but also the former headmaster was strongly criticised by the Calcutta High Court and the Supreme Court of India for making the victim's doctor's family wait for so many hours before they could see their daughter. The victim's mother told police that she received a call from the hospital administration saying that the doctor had committed suicide. It was an attempt to cover up the matter, the mother added.
